Sorry Greg, Jo won't be able to make it. She'll be busy attending a Very Almosts photo shoot, modelling our new range of
underwear!

We made it to Parkdale beach just before sunset and just before the rain set in.

I'd like to introduce you to Ms Alisha Tremaine, M.S. (Master of Science). She's just found out that she's passed her final exam after an intense period of study.

Alisha wasn't so happy yesterday. Her school advised her that she didn't pass her last exam. Needless to say Alisha was devastated. We spend last night making sure she had enough tequila shooters to forget about study and exams altogether.
We arrived home this afternoon, where Alisha found out the school had made a mistake and she had, in fact, passed. Woooohooo!

Well done Alisha, congratulations.

I also spent a lot of time on Parkdale beach: a lot of fond and some not so fond memories.

More importantly, in the second photo, that tip of land you can see is Ricketts Point. It holds some even fonder memories, but they ocurred a little later in life, not long after I got my first car. We'll leave it there OK ?

Congratulations, Alisha!

Now that you're all rested up from those "shooters", whatever they are, you can go home and make your plans for world conquest...

It appears that she's already conquered "The Land Down Under"; next up is the UK.

CONGRATULATIONS ALISHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

(sorry for shouting, but she deserves it)

You guys are too cool! Thanks for the kind words. I was absolutely gutted when I saw the results but Darren was fabulous in reminding me that it wasn't the end of the world....and I emailed the prof just to make sure and turns out it was an error....So I don't think it's possible to be any happier at the moment!

Robyn, Darren and the kiddo's are incredible and it's going to be tough saying goodbye to such a cool group.

Way to go Alisha!! A birthday and a masters degree all in the same couple of days AND all while on your adventure. But I'll bet your heart almost stopped when you got the bad news. Good thing you were with a good friend like Darren to help keep things in perspective. After all, it wasn't like you dropped an F body.

Darren, while you get to hang with your "Mexican Maidens" here's a video of my Friday night group.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the lead singer look a bit like Graham?

Looks like you guys have been having a great time. I'm sure you had a great birthday Alisha. Congrats on your masters degree!
